Stitch-in Day Two

I'll be honest. Thinking about the kids and kids' sports talk on Saturday, I was a little reluctant on Sunday. The dude said, "Just focus on your shared passion!" He's so encouraging sometimes. I needn't have worried. Instead we talked about diseases. And there was a little talk about finishing and a cord making lesson. Some of the lesson was more theoretical than practical so I directed my table mate to Twisted Stitcher's (Vonna's) finishing blog and Magic by Mona's blog. I'm sure you all know about them already, but if you don't--click away now!

The day ended at 2:00, and I stayed there stitching as long as they would let me because I was six stitches away from finishing! Although I got a few backstitches in on Sunday night, I wasn't able to finish; I did have to do some of the chores I had neglected over the weekend! I am counting on finishing this in December to bring my 2016 numbers up. I know some of you would have stuck with it, but I am committed to this one-a-day rotation.

This fat little cardinal is still so damn cute, isn't he?

I stitched this one (and managed to finish him some months later) this year too! Glad you enjoyed day 2 a little more.

That Cardinal is fabulous! The OCD in me would have had such a hard time not finishing, but that would also battle with my rule following of one day rotation. In the end I'd do what you did! Can't wait to see the finish. Also, it's funny how conversations go.

Diseases, what a fun topic LoL
The cardinal is lovely though, he definitely ate all the birdseed. I couldn't stop if i was so close to a finish.
